Compared to other schools in the district, Madison School's performance is mixed, with its 5th grade ELA proficiency rate being higher than the district average, but its 5th grade Mathematics proficiency rate being the same as the district average.

Madison School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 33.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the surrounding schools. While the school has relatively high per-student spending, its student-teacher ratio is on the higher end, ranging from 11.8 to 13.6, which may impact the level of individual attention students receive. The school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
